Acrylic Artist: The Portrait Redefined

Hello everyone – 

I am pleased to announce that my artwork is the Featured Story in the current issue of Acrylic Artist Magazine. The magazine is in art stores now, and hitting Barnes & Noble next week, I believe. However, if you would like to order a copy online, the publisher has it available both in print and digital download formats.

My painting of “Danielle” is on the cover, and there is a 12 page article written by Michael Gormley that covers my work, my process and includes critical analysis of about a dozen paintings of mine. 

I am truly humbled by how much space they have devoted to my work. To order a copy for yourself, click on the HERE to be directed to Acrylic Artist Magazine.

This is a *huge* opportunity for me, and I would like to thank each of you for always being so supportive. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Acrylic Artist Magazine also has an interview with me regarding how I approach some of my painting subjects, specifically random strangers on the street.

Click either HERE to read the interview. And, keep in mind a stranger is just a friend you haven’t painted yet!

The Sunnyside Post has an article up covering this past weekend’s Sunnyside Annual Art Fair.

The weather was great, there was a large turnout, and I was able to sell quite a few prints and smaller pieces. Thanks again to Sunnyside Artists for organizing such a fun event! We will definitely be back for the next one…

CORA W. (6TH GRADE) INTERVIEWS MATT CAULEY

Back in Summer 2010, I was approached by a former co-worker of mine, with whom I’d remained good friends.


Her daughter Cora had been given the assignment to write a paper on any artist, and after discussing a bunch of possible candidates to focus on, she eventually chose ME to be her subject. Neat!


I was only too happy to assist and was able to meet the family one summer day around lunchtime. We discussed all sorts of art-related topics before brainstorming the interview. I can’t express how heart-warming the whole experience was, but I’ll let Cora take it from here.


Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom for an AMAZING interpretation of my Khadi painting, crafted by Cora herself. Simply wonderful!

Dear Matt,


Thank you for being the subject of my art project. Here is a list of the elements I need to discuss in my paper:


In “Khadi” and “Lulu” how did you use
Lines
Shapes
Color
Texture
Overlapping
Composition
Perspective
Value
Shading
Patterns


I don’t have to include all of these for each piece. But if you could let me know which ones you used, how and why that would be great. Can you also tell me a little bit about your career and artistic style.


Thank you again. I’ll see you tomorrow when my mom brings me to the city.


From, Cora W

And here is presented the report…

PORTRAIT PAINTINGS FEATURED IN AMERICAN ARTIST MAGAZINE

Hello everyone –

Be sure to head over to your local bookstore or newsstand and pick up the latest issue of American Artist Magazine. It includes a six page article regarding my recent portrait paintings, covering everything from the painting technique to the materials used, and there’s even a little Batman thrown in for good measure. I couldn’t be happier with the layout (I even get a mention on the cover!) and I’d especially like to give a huge round of thanks to world-famous artist John Parks for writing such a wonderful article!

For more information about the American Artist, or to order a copy, click HERE.

As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have.
